Come run a one of its kind course and support a great cause. As the name suggest, the route is in the shape of a cross. This year's event will support the Mattoon to Peoria St. Jude Run Team! Race time is 8:00 a.m. Race day registration and packet pickup from 6:30 until 7:45.
As you have come to expect, there will be door prizes, and of course standard post race nutrition, age group awards, and cash prizes for overall male and female winners. (This is a RACE after all). As is our tradition, participants over 21 will be given a token for a free beer or glass of wine. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for more information.
